That Olympus stop manufacturing the OM series and accesories.
Ohh...wait...nevermind. :(
I never understood why Kodak did not release K25 in 120 format. They would
have deprecated pretty much everything else, including a large number of
LF cameras (at least, if the large format is used due to the need for
making large magnifications).
Ohh...about HP and rpn's. I think they still manufacture them, no? It's
just R&D that is stalled for newer models. I find it ok, since it is damm
hard to beat that 15c for a pocket calculator and the 48Gx for graphs...
